COUNCIL housing rents in Rugby will go up by an average of 93 a year to pay for improvements to make them cheaper to heat - despite claims from a borough councillor that it could have been done without raising prices.

A programme to replace council houses windows and doors, update central heating systems and connect homes to the gas main has been approved by Rugby Borough Council.

Rents will rise by the consumer prices index plus one per cent from April 1 to pay for the improvements, in line with government guidance - meaning an average weekly rent rise of 1.80.

But Labour group leader and parliamentary candidate Coun Claire Edwards said a rent freeze would have been affordable without shelving the improvement programme.

She said: Instead of spending 10.6million on window replacement, we could have used 320,000 to allow for a rent freeze and still spend 10.3million on window replacement over the next three years.

An average rent increase of 1.80 per week may sound reasonable, but we had a one-off one-year chance to freeze both rents and council tax.

"Too many council tenants are facing hard times after years of horrendously high rents well in excess of inflation, and a freeze would have made a real difference.

But Liberal Democrat Coun Bill Lewis, ward councillor for Rokeby and Overslade, said it was good news that the improvements would be carried out.

An outside investigation of a $11.5 million office building for sewer workers that tripled in cost recommends Portland city bureaus provide elected officials with detailed reports when the scope of a construction project changes.

City Commissioner Nick Fish asked law firm Barran Liebman to review the project, which eventually cost longtime Bureau of Development Services chief Dean Marriott his job.

On Wednesday, The Oregonian obtained records that lifted the curtain on the fractious relationship between Fish and Marriott in the aftermath of the project.

The Barran Liebman report, also released Feb. 18, says bureau officials violated no laws or city rules as the office project grew. But it says Marriott and other BES officials allowed the elaborate design of the building to change the project's scale and budget.

The report suggests the creation of new city memos to disclose enlarged scope.

"The Bureau should provide to the Commissioner in charge of the Bureau a detailed report of all requested additions to the scope of a project prior to undertaking the implementation of the additions," the report says. "It is recommended that those requested or necessary additions to the scope be put into a separate memorandum to the Commissioner which clearly is designated as a 'Scope Enlargement' request."

The Barran Liebman investigation follows a damning city audit into the Columbia Wastewater Treatment Plant services building, which tripled in costs to $11.5 million.

Fish asked for the audit after WW and KOIN-TV reported how the city turned what was supposed to be a utilitarian office building, originally estimated at $3.2 million, into a poster-child facility for wastewater engineers in North Portland.

The audit showed bureau managers approved a design so ornate and inadequate that it required 85 change orders during construction, mostly to fix design problems like the ecoroof covered in wetland grasses.

Fish responded to WW's report by mandating that any BES and Water Bureau spending over $500,000 be discussed by City Council. He placed Marriott on leave, and the 20-year bureau chief resigned in January.

U.S. Bank building to open this summer

February 19, 2015 | 7:00 pm

CEDAR RAPIDS Construction has begun on a U.S. Bank branch at Westdale, the first new building in the $90 million Cedar Rapids redevelopment project.

Lisa Rowe, vice president/retail at Frew Development Group and Westdale general manager, on Thursday said additional construction during the next few months will include a 5,000-square-foot stand-alone Chick-fil-A restaurant, interior and exterior renovations to the JCPenney building, and a 12,000-square-foot multi-tenant building.

The construction of the first new building at Westdale is a significant milestone, Rowe said. Vertical construction is what people in the community have been longing to see since we started this project.

Construction of the U.S. Bank building began on Feb. 9 and the office, which will be located on the second pad site north of the south Edgewood Road SW entrance, is expected to open this summer.

U.S. Bank is relocating because the building housing its branch at 2350 Edgewood Rd. SW was acquired in October 2010 by F&M Bank of Manchester, which has offices in northeast and downtown Cedar Rapids. F&M expects to open a branch at Westdale in November.

Chick-fil-A hopes to start construction April 6 on its new free-standing restaurant, Rowe said. It will be located on the first pad site north of the south entrance off Edgewood Road SW.

Rowe said the recently completed initial phase of site work created eight development pads along Edgewood Road SW, All the sites are under contract and include new utilities, construction of a new Edgewood Road entrance and a portion of the new ring road that will provide access to future development.

The 12,000-square-foot multi-tenant building will be constructed just south of the existing U.S. Bank building, Rowe said.
